Booked: California Academy of Sciences Tickets, San Francisco

Buying my tix for the academy of sciences with Thrillophilia was such a great experience! Not only did I get a discounted rate, but I skipped the line and walked right in! Couldn’t have been easier on a busy day at the academy! I will definitely be doing purchasing my tix from them in the future!

Our trip from Chennai to the West Coast was a highlight, especially the drive along the Pacific Coast Highway. San Francisco has such a cool vibe and the views of the bay are stunning from every angle. Manoj made sure our itinerary wasn't too rushed.
